I hate money grubbing Petulent companies.
http://www.tompaine.com/feature.cfm/ID/6600
Cable was suppose to make LESS comercials. Cars were supposed to be BETTER, and FLY by today. Improved technology was supposed to make things better and cheaper. Priced a New tech stove lately. What companies WONT do to make money. Take something that was FREE, and charge for it. In the next 50 years, I will BET, they will find a way to charge for AIR.

do either of you understand the FUN involved with games that were NOT design with 56k, in mind. Quake, half-life, others???
Where a person with 56k gets the SPIT kicked out of him, by a person with a Faster connection. Im in a discussion with a person WHO thinks there ISNT a problem with it.

Ya I think that 56K makes a difference if you want to play games oline. Anyone who says differently is a moron or has other motives, like trying to piss you off. What a pessimist you are! Petulent is a big word to be using on this forum

Petulent...unreasonably, irritable, illtempered.
Jsut the IDEA, that "IF" they can make money from it, THEY HAVE TO. Not if they want to, could if they wanted. THEY have to make money from it. Its like TAXING you to USE money. Not taxing when you use money, TAXING so that you CAN use the money. Charging you .25 just to spend a Buck. The State may tax me, but the money goes someplace, and NOT into someones POCKET. Sorry, about that. I have an AVERSION to paying MORE then a product is worth. As in 3D glasses that arent NEW. Every 5 yrs some one comes out with the SAME glasses, and trys to get $50-100 when I can go buy the others from 5 years ago for $5-10? With what these COMPANIES want to do. There will be NO free internet. Information will be GONE. It will be a giant ADVERT, and you will PAY to be advertized to. SICK aint it.

We should pay for access to information. The problem is that we can't currently pay for access to better information. It is hard to discemminate what is important for each person at any given moment. This could also be thought of as better access. Hopefully things will change.
I don't like capitalism all too much either, but at least I don't complain TOO much about it. Maybe you have a better idea?

Better Idea....LEAVE IT ALONE.
Just because its THERE dont mean you have to find a way to make money with it. And, Im a believer in FREEDOM of information... Almost all information should be free to access, or free to train in. Used to be in California, if you just walked into a class and set down you could LEARN anything, as long as you didnt want a degree from the class. Dont know if its still happening that way tho. I hate the Idea that I have to PAY, over $300 for a book to learn everything about WINDOWS. Used to be when you got the OS, you got a book on how it Generally worked. Remember the Pokes, and peeks?? That windows book, also dont tell you HOW to program windows either. I'd love to setup the "description" on file listings. I will STOP with the "USED to be's". And just say, Just because there is a WAY to make MORE money, doesnt MEAN you have to, or SHOULD. just because the Kid is standing at the corner wiating, dont mean you should KICK him into the street. Just because the Little old lady has some money, and you HELP her accross the street, DONT mean you have to TAKE it or CHARGE HER for it. Do you CHARGE your friends/family to take them to the STORE, even tho you WERE going there ANYWAY(Not me)...
